Players to Watch
Here's how the other players to watch highlighted in the Summer League Preview produced in the HEAT's last 4 Vegas Summer League games:- Ian Clark (guard from Belmont) produced a 4.3 Win Score per 40 minutes (WS40) in his last 4 games for the Golden State Warriors. That's twice as productive as the average guard in a HEAT game for the Vegas Summer League. He also shot 50% from the 3-point line. If the HEAT want the most productive player from their Orlando Summer League team in training camp, they will probably have to outbid the Warriors for his services.

- LeRon Dendy (center from Middle Tennessee State) has not played for the HEAT in Vegas.
- Larry Drew (guard from UCLA) has not played for the HEAT in Vegas.

He increased the HEAT chance of winning by 35% with 9 points and 6 assists in 15.5 minutes for 0.914 est.WP40. It was his only above average game this summer but raised his overall performance in Vegas to an above-average level of 0.237 est.WP40.
- Anthony Marshall (guard from UNLV) is the least productive HEAT guard in Vegas. He decreased the HEAT chance of beating the Cavs by 8%. His summer league performance is below average in every category except shooting efficiency and steals.
- Ricky Sanchez (center from Puerto Rico) has not played for the HEAT in Vegas.
- Tony Taylor (guard from George Washington) was the 2nd-most productive HEAT player against the Cavs. He increased the team's chance of winning by 21% with 6 points, 2 assists, 1 turnover and 2 steals in 20 minutes for 0.406 est.WP40.
